netineya [11]

Answer:

I. Identify what is the problem

II. Acquire the data

III. Develop the model

IV. Implement the Model.

V. Do the results look right.

Explanation:

The problem-solving process can be defined as the systematic approach used to identify and determine the solution to a particular problem.

The steps involved in the problem-solving process are;

1. Identify and define the problem: this is the first step to be taken in solving a problem. This is to ensure that, the focus is on the main issue or situation and all efforts is channeled in the right direction rather than the symptoms.

2. Gathering of information: this helps to consider the options available in solving a problem effectively.

3. Consider your options: this helps to compare the available and viable solutions to the problem.

4. Weigh disadvantages and evaluate a solution: you weigh the disadvantages of each solution, before choosing the one with the least disadvantages.

Hence, the fundamental steps of the problem solving process in the correct order are;

I. Identify what is the problem

II. Acquire the data

III. Develop the model

IV. Implement the Model.

V. Do the results look right.

Mason Company has a weekly payroll of $5,000. Wages are paid every Friday for the work performed Monday through Friday of that w

ddd [48]

Answer:

$2,000

Explanation:

Given:

Weekly payroll = $5,000

Number of working days for which wages are paid from Monday to Friday = 5

Wages paid per day = $\frac{\textup{Weekly payroll}}{\textup{Number of days}}$

or

Wages paid per day = $\frac{\$\textup{5,000}}{\textup{5}}$

or

Wages paid per day = $1,000

Thus,

from Monday to Tuesday total wages paid

= Wages per day × Number of days

= $1,000 × 2

= $2,000

Hence, the amount of Wages Expense that should be recorded on that date is $2,000

Mike gundy is a college football coach making a base salary of $2,400,000 a year ($200,000 per month). employers are required to

asambeis [7]

<span>Mike will earn $2,400,000 for the year. Social security withholds 6.2% which equals $148,800, though Social security has a maximum base amount of $118,500. So the total amount withheld for Social Security will be $118,500. Medicare withholds 1.45% which equals $34,800. So the total amount withheld for Medicare will be $34,800. The total withheld from both Social Security and Medicare would be $153,300.</span>

Both Bond Bill and Bond Ted have 10.4 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Bill has 5 ye

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Ans,

a) If interest rates suddenly rise by 3 percent, Bill´s bond would drop by -20.02% and Ted´s bond would go down by -36.07%

.

b) If rates were to suddenly fall by 3 percent, Bill´s bond would rise by 26.79%

and Ted´s bond would rise too by 86.47%

.

Explanation:

Hi, first let´s go ahead and establish the stable scenario, for that we are going to use the information of the problem but we need to add the discount rate of the bond or yield, which is the missing information. All this so this concept can be explained in a better way, so for this example we´ll say that the yield of both bonds is 10% compounded semi-annually, the same units as the coupon. Now we have to use the following formula.

$Price=\frac{Coupon((1+Yield)^{n}-1) }{Yield(1+Yield)^{n} } +\frac{FaceValue}{(1+Yield)^{n} }$

Where:

Coupon = (%Coupon/2)*FaceValue= (0.104/2)*1,000=52

Yield = we are going to assume 10% annual, that is 5% semi-annual

n = Payment periods (For Bill n=5*2=10, for Ted, n=22*2=44)

So, let´s see what is the price of each bond if the yield was 10% annual compounded semi-annually.

$Price(Bill)=\frac{52((1+0.05)^{10}-1) }{0.05(1+0.05)^{10} } +\frac{1,000}{(1+0.05)^{10} } =1,015.44$

In Ted´s case, that is:

$Price(Ted)=\frac{52((1+0.05)^{44}-1) }{0.05(1+0.05)^{44} } +\frac{1,000}{(1+0.05)^{44} } = 1,035.33$

Now, if the interest rate (Yield) suddenly goes up by 3%, this is what happens to Bill´s Bond

$Price(Bill)=\frac{52((1+0.08)^{10}-1) }{0.08(1+0.08)^{10} } +\frac{1,000}{(1+0.08)^{10} } = 812.12$

If yield goes down by 3%, this is the new price of Bill´s bond.

Price(Bill)=\frac{52((1+0.02)^{10}-1) }{0.02(1+0.02)^{10} } +\frac{1,000}{(1+0.02)^{10} } = 1,287.44

Now, in the case of Ted, this is what happens to the price if the yield goes up.

$Price(Ted)=\frac{52((1+0.08)^{44}-1) }{0.08(1+0.08)^{44} } +\frac{1,000}{(1+0.08)^{44} } = 661.84$

If it goes down by 3%, this would be the price for Ted´s bond.

$Price(Ted)=\frac{52((1+0.02)^{44}-1) }{0.02(1+0.02)^{44} } +\frac{1,000}{(1+0.02)^{44} } = 1,930.56$

Now, in percentage, what we need to use is the following formula.

$Change=\frac{(VariationValue-BaseValue)}{BaseValue} x100$

For example, in the case of Bill´s bond, which yield went up by 3%, this is what we should do.

$Change=\frac{(812.12-1,015.44)}{1,015.44} x100=-20.02Percent$

So, the price variation is -20.02% if the yield rises by 3%.

This are the results of the prices and calculations for you to answer this question. Best of luck.

Bill Ted % (Bill) %(Ted)

Base Price $1,015.44 $1,035.33

(+) 3% Yield $812.12 $661.84 -20.02% -36.07%

(-) 3% Yield $1,287.44 $1,930.56 26.79% 86.47%

Nonprice rationing devices are required

RUDIKE [14]

Answer: Option D: to allocate goods when there is a price ceiling.

Explanation: Nonprice rationing devices is the use of methods other than price controls that have the effect of limiting output. The Notice devices are often used to deploy goods when there is a price ceiling.

Common examples of Nonprice rationing devices are:
